Helen Moss was born in 1964 and grew up in the beautiful rolling countryside of Worcestershire and a remote corner of Saudi Arabia. When she left school she wanted to be an interpreter or an astronaut or a tree surgeon. She's never done any of those things - except in her imagination - but did a degree in Psychology and Philosphy and a PhD in psycholinguistics instead. This turned out to be even more fun and she spent many happy years researching language and the brain. Having lived in London, Glasgow and Oregon, Helen now lives in a village near Cambridge with her computer-scientist husband, two teenage sons and some dogs and hens. When she's not writing or thinking up her next dastardly crime (purely fictional, of course!), she likes walking in the countryside with the dogs, running (without the dogs, who just trip her over) climbing mountains and skiing down them - and reading, of course. www.helenmoss.org.uk www.adventureislandbooks.co.uk www.secretsofthetombs.co.uk (Oh, and I didn't write Silky The Woods Cat! That must be a different Helen Moss, but I don't seem to be able to remove it from the list. My apologies to the other Helen Moss.)
